The Communication Skills program is located in the Department of Linguistics and Applied Linguistics and provides a unique facility in Australian university education. Its mission is to create a culture of student excellence in written and oral communication, presentation skills and the application of information technologies. The curriculum is designed to assist students in Arts and other faculties of the University with developing and refining their academic and professional communication skills. These skills-based subjects will be of direct benefit to many students in extending the vocational opportunities provided by the Bachelor of Arts and other degree programs.

1. Time commitment to study

As well as scheduled contact hours for lectures, tutorial and seminars a considerable additional time committment is needed to complete the academic requirements of each subect.

A subject-specific time commitment to study will be provided by your lecturer or tutor at the beginning of semester to help you schedule your workload and successfully manage your time during the semester. In addition, general estimates of the total time commitment required to study a 12.5-point single semester subject in the Faculty of Arts can be found on Time commitment to study.

2. Skills subjects limitations

Communication Skills subjects, along with ESL subjects, computer skills subjects and subjects that focus on workplace skills, are termed 'skills-based subjects'. Students enrolled in an arts degree may credit a maximum of three skills subjects towards their course. See Skills-based subjects. Students from other faculties should check for skills subject limitations at their Faculty Office.
